From editorial director of news Kate Shellnutt: Testimonies have been a staple in Christianity Today’s story lineup for years and years. They used to run on the final page of the print magazine; during last summer’s redesign, we moved them up to the first section in each issue. 

Our list of ten most read testimonies offers a snapshot of the many ways God is at work in the lives of his people, seeking them and showing them his truth. Reading these miraculous stories of repentance and conversion can be inspiring—or they can make our own stories of faith seem ho-hum in comparison. 

I often think back to Megan Evans Hill’s testimony, which began, “I have no memory of becoming a Christian. I didn’t pray a prayer or walk an aisle or have a eureka moment. In fact, I don’t remember a time when I didn’t love the Lord Jesus. My Christian testimony—the story of how I came to faith—is downright boring.”

For all whose stories are more everyday faithfulness than dramatic turnaround, remember that “we celebrate both the dramatic and the normal, day-to-day ways Jesus reaches us, precisely because it is Jesus doing the reaching. In Christ, no testimony …  is unremarkable.”
